IGFA July Hot Catches

Angler Patrick Sebile was fishing with local guide Jeff Brooks on May 6, 2012 when he pulled a largemouth bass from Lake Okeechobee, Fla. Sebile landed the fish in a minute after it ate the Sebile Proppler Buzz lure he was casting. Sebile’s catch measured out to 24.01 inches (61 cm) and was released alive, qualifying him for the potential new All-Tackle Length record. The existing record stands at 23.2 inches. (Courtesy IGFA)
